Ooi. I have two varieties (if not distinct species) from the Coast 

 of Coromandel. In the first, the leaves are much narrower, and run 

 more down on the petioles, and, with the bractes of the flowers, 

 longer, more cuspidate, and ciliate. In the second variety, the leaves 

 are cuneiform-lanceolate, and the bractes of the flower broad-ovate, 

 short cuspidate, and hairy.
